Thousands of miles above the Yangtze River, a fleet was heading upriver from Xiakou at this time.

The fleet consisted of three ships in the front and rear, accompanied by 200 ships, 160 red horses, sea hooves and a number of fighting ships.

Above the building boat at the front, Zhang Liao was dressed in black armor, and even his cloak was black.

This outfit is not much different from an ordinary lieutenant, and even if it is far away, it is impossible to distinguish it at all.

Once upon a time, the Liao God would never accept such an outfit, he wore a silver armor and white robe for a while, but he always felt a little bit of a collision with Zhao Yun, and later in order to distinguish him, he made the cloak into Lu Bu's bright red.

But with the addition of Ma Chao, counting Yan Liang and Zhao Yun, this silver-armored warrior can no longer withdraw his Liaoshen's forced qualifications, golden armor? It's not good, then it's going to be a clash with Wen Chou.

Zhang Liao, who pursued to stand out from the crowd, was troubled by this for a long time, until the old yin couldn't stand it anymore and told him that he was hidden in the city, and the invisible pretending to be the most deadly, so he felt that he would return to the basics and wear the most common battle armor on the battlefield.

As for the conspicuous motivating soldiers that the Lord is going to wear, he doesn't think about this kind of thing at all, as long as he shouts at the top of his throat, 'Zhang Wenyuan is here', who dares not to work hard?

Despite this, Liaoshen's mood is still very confused, he seems to be deeper than Zhuge Liang in the matter of borrowing arrows from the grass boat, he doesn't believe Lin Mo's rhetoric of fooling the law, but this nephew refuses to confess, it seems that it is difficult for him to think about the truth and reality.

Therefore, Liaoshen is now taking the fleet out to patrol the Yangtze River every day, and the battlefield is his own destination.

But in recent times, it's probably because the morale of Baqiu is too low, and he doesn't come out to patrol, and he has fought a few encounters before, although he has won and lost, he still wins and loses less, and now he doesn't come out directly to make Liaoshen very depressed.

Just as we were about to enter the waters of Baqiu, a lookout boat quickly approached ahead.

The hull of the lookout ship was the smallest, but it was tall enough and fast enough to be like a scout on land, and the sergeants on the lookout platforms in front of and behind the lookout began waving their flags.

A flag conveyed, ten miles ahead found enemy ships, three ships, sterns, red horses are more than 100, but the hull is very close, shrinking a ball.

"It's such a big battle, they don't have a few building ships in total, this time they actually drove three at a time, it seems that our route has been discovered, but so many warships, they should be scattered in all directions to set up a formation, how can they shrink together." Xu Sheng behind Liao Shen muttered.

Liao Shen rubbed his chin and obviously pondered this question, and after a moment, he turned around and shouted to the banner soldier at the high platform: "Order to return, slow down, and line up to meet the enemy in thirty miles!" ”

After all, I didn't see the coalition fleet with my own eyes, and of course I couldn't understand it by just conveying the Liao God with this kind of flag, but from the information brought back by the lookout ship, the military strength of each other was equal, how could the Liao God be intimidated.

What's more, the military strength may be equal, judging from the confrontation in the early stage, in addition to the original scene of the naval division warship, many of the other warships are civilian transformation, not at all at the same level.

A belligerent is a belligerent, but Liaoshen has not lost his mind, this is too close to the Baqiu Ferry, if the momentum is not right, it will be troublesome to come to reinforcements from there, and moving the battle line back can ensure safety.

The Liao God did not dare to let the warship go too fast, for fear that they would give up the pursuit, and in an hour or so, they came to a wide body of water, and at the same time, the current here was also the slowest place, so that the advantage of the coalition forces along the river would be weakened a lot.

The three warships lined up, and the warships, red horses, sea birds, and fighting ships lined up with each other, and they waited for each other to appear.

Except for Zhang Liao and Lu Xun on the main building ship, Zhu Huan, Wei Yan, Xu Sheng, Gan Ning and others all went down to the Red Horse ship and waited for this big battle.

Here it comes.

In less than half an hour, there were coalition warships in front, and the building ships on the opposite side were not much different from their own, they were all four-storey, and even the droppers above could be seen, but the accompanying ships and red horse warships were all huddled together, which made Zhang Liao and Lu Xun very surprised.

"What do they want to do with this formation?" Lu Xun looked at the fox and muttered suspiciously.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Liao wouldn't have believed it, although the other party had separated the warships, red horses, sea hooves and fighting ships according to the order, but these warships were all close to the perimeter of the building ship, such a formation would make the firepower of the bow and arrow extremely concentrated, did they want to die?

I've fought them before, but this is the first time I've seen them in this formation.

"Attack!" Liao Shen wanted to try to see what was special about their formation, and ordered the flag soldiers to wave the flag.

Soon, all the warships moved and pounced on the coalition tigers.

The front of the Lu Lin Navy is a ship, and the red horse echoes on both sides, which can quickly form a rapid encirclement trend.

When the Lu Lin Navy was moving forward rapidly, the flag of the main building of the coalition army waved, and after the flag, the warships stopped, only letting the ships in the front row rush forward.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao's eyes widened, because when he was close enough, he suddenly found that the ships on the opposite side were actually two ships, and the two were connected together with iron chains.

Before the confrontation, both sides were firing arrows at each other, and it was not until they were close enough that the sailors would quickly stand firm and support the mast on the side or along the side to deal with the next impact.

Boom Boom!

With the collision of the ships of the two sides, the ships of the coalition forces are all in a group of two, coupled with the help of the current, this impact force is naturally not comparable to a single ship like Lu Linjun.

Under the collision, the soldiers on the ship of Lu Lin were prepared, but they were still hit by this huge impact, and the center of gravity was unstable and staggered.

On the contrary, because of the connection of the two ships, the stability of the coalition army was greatly improved, and taking this opportunity, the sailors of the coalition army quickly threw out barbs to fix the Lu Lin warship, and the rest of them were killed in a swarm.

Originally, they couldn't adjust their body shape because of the impact of the collision of the warship, and this time the two boats of people came up, and the strength was not equal, and they soon fell into a situation of passive beating.

Moreover, these sailors cooperated quite tacitly, and they would immediately move forward after quickly capturing a ship, and Zhang Liao, who was standing on the ship, saw that his ships arranged in three rows were easily torn apart, and he couldn't help frowning.

However, now he can't do anything, the bow and arrow fire on the building ship is very fierce, but the ships of both sides are stuck together, it is easy to cause accidental injury, and he can only hope for these red horses.

The red horses on both sides were not affected, and they also formed an encirclement from the rear of the coalition forces, and Gan Ning on the red horse ship roared angrily: "Quick, release the arrows, release the arrows!" ”

The red horses that surrounded the coalition forces fired a rain of arrows, which had an effect, but it was not obvious, after all, their soldiers were concentrated on the forward deck of the ship, and the shelter of the cabin could provide some cover.

Just as he was about to give the order to pursue, the soldiers on the side shouted: "Look, general, their fighting ships are coming!" ”

After Gan Ning turned around, he found that the coalition fighting ships in the rear were approaching rapidly, the red horse ship was mainly a fast, like a war horse on the water, and the fighting ship had a hint of the smell of shield soldiers, and the ship was covered by a female wall, and there were square holes in the female wall, which was convenient for crossbowmen to release arrows.

Damn, it seems that the coordination of this formation has been carefully studied, and, to make matters worse, there are red horses and sea hooves guarding the fighting ship on both sides, even if Gan Ning wants to back down at this moment, it is extremely dangerous.

However, Zhang Liao, who was standing on the building boat, saw it clearly, his own fighting ship was pressed from the front, and the sea hooves were also on the two wings, so as long as they could retreat down the river to the two wings, it would not be a big problem.

With the banner soldier conveying the command, there was already a red horse that began to break away from the river, after all, the speed was here.

"It's all this time, stick it on me, fight hard!"

Gan Ning had already made his choice, commanding the two red horses around him, and the three warships rushed straight towards the opposite fighting ship.

This kind of charging momentum is very irrational, in the distance before the two warships get close, the long-range firepower of the fighting ships is not comparable to your red horse, not to mention that these fighting ships are tied up in pairs, and the stability of the battleship will also make the crossbowmen's crosshairs higher.

Therefore, the soldiers on the Red Horse ship basically hid in the cabin or under the edge of the ship to find cover.

"What's going on with those ships?" Lu Xun watched the three red horses not evacuate according to the flag, but rushed forward, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Eighty percent is Gan Xingba again."

Liao Shen's words were full of helplessness, Gan Ning he liked it very much, fierce enough, although there was gangsterism in his body, he also had righteousness.

That's it, the brain is not very good, it's too rigid, there have been several times this kind of behavior before, but he can just come out of the sky, so every time Zhang Liao can only educate orally.

After all, in this reckless man's body, he saw himself who was 800 and 30,000 under Guangling City.

"Quick! Hook it, hook it! ”

After the red horse met the fighting ship, the Lu Lin naval army hurriedly threw the hook to fix, fortunately, the height difference between the outer edge of the two ships was not more than a foot, and the soldiers could climb onto the coalition fighting ship.

After jumping into the crowd, the double halberd waved left and right like chopping melons and vegetables, and the blood of the group of crossbowmen was splashed like ink, and it didn't take long to kill a large open space on the battleship, and also bought time for the sergeants climbing behind.

Sou~

"Ah~"

A climbing sergeant was hit by an arrow in his back and fell directly into the Yangtze River, and just made up for one, he was hit by an arrow in the same position, and then fell.

On a fighting ship not far away, Huang Zhong, who had white hair, was dressed in armor, drawing arrows, taking a bow, and winding them in one go, and one person would die every time an arrow came out.

Moreover, he moved so fast that it was as if he didn't need to aim at all, and the soldiers on the side looked at it, but he took down seven or eight Lu Lin sailors in a few breaths.

"General, shoot him, shoot the one with the halberd!" The soldiers on the side saw the rise of Gan Ning's killing, and directly asked Huang Zhong to shoot him.

In fact, Huang Zhong had already discovered Gan Ning, but it was a little far away, and the sailors he had been shooting were all sailors on the leftmost red horse boat, which was already a hundred paces away.

And Gan Ning is the fighting ship that boarded in the middle, according to the distance, it has exceeded one hundred and twenty steps, and then look at the body method, it can toss and turn in the chaos of the army, this distance, the speed and body of the other party, no one in the world can shoot such a chaotic person at such a distance.

Of course, this is also because of the disadvantage caused by the connecting ships, after all, the two ships are connected together, and if the boatmen under the ship cannot command them in unison, the warship will spin.

Instead of being that time-consuming, it's more practical to shoot a few more.

Gan Ning killed very happily, and the sailors on a ship were slaughtered by him and others in a short time, but this was just what he saw in front of him, if you look at it from Zhang Liao's point of view, you will find that the entire battlefield has been occupied by the coalition forces with the absolute initiative.

They first disrupted the formation of Lu Lin's naval army with the ships that were connected together, and the fighting ships behind provided fire support, plus the cover of the sea birds on both sides and the red horses penetrating the formation, even if the four-layer crossbowmen on the building ship suppressed the firepower, they could not block it.

Watching the soldiers fall into the water one by one, there are already many warships drifting in the wind, proving that the soldiers on board have been killed, Zhang Liao knew that this situation could not be reversed, and any further delay would only kill more people, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat!" ”

Gan Ning on the fighting ship was in full swing, and when he was about to jump on the red horse to change the target, the accompanying soldiers reminded: "Look, general, that's the flag of retreat!" ”

Gan Ning's heart sank when he saw this, knowing that Zhang Liao was not a soft persimmon, if it wasn't for the mess in the rear, he would definitely not evacuate, once the building ship was withdrawn, his current position was extremely dangerous, so he had to take the soldiers to shout and return quickly.

"Win, hahaha, finally won!" Cai Maole on the ship of the coalition army building is crazy, and the previous few battles are all small-scale battles, and he still loses more and wins less.

It was the first time that the two sides had invested tens of thousands of troops in such a big battle today, and the result was so easy to win that it was a bit unexpected, and he immediately ordered to chase and kill at full speed.

chased all the way to the Chibi River, and Cai Mao, who was worried that Zhang Liao would respond, ordered to withdraw, even so, the warships and ordnance along the way were enough for him to make a lot of military achievements.

Moreover, his reputation will also be completely launched in this battle, after all, the ship opposite the building is hung with the word 'Zhang', and his face is raised.

Lu Xun on the ship of Lu Linlou was running around, in fact, he wanted to count how many ships were left, so as to estimate the losses this time, he kept sighing, although he was not the main general, but in the end he joined the army as Zhang Liao, and his face couldn't hang it.

On the contrary, it was Liaoshen himself, although he was not in such a good mood, but he didn't seem to be entangled for too long, but kept muttering, "I didn't expect that the warships would have such power after they were connected, the impact of the warships became greater, the stability of the fighting ships improved, and the crossbowmen would shoot more accurately."

I'm going to have to get a few boats when I get back.

No, if you are more bold and connect all the warships, then I am afraid that the stability will only allow the soldiers to walk on the ground, right? ”

Thinking of this section, Zhang Liao's pupils suddenly gathered, his breathing became short, and he slapped his palm on the edge of the ship as if he had discovered a new continent, and said excitedly: "Yes! It is to connect all the warships, so that not only will the naval crossbowmen shoot more stable, but maybe, even the soldiers of our northern country can board the ships to fight and no longer be afraid of seasickness."

Zhang Liao swallowed his saliva, his brain was deeper, and even, the war horse could gallop.

Oh my God, this is a godsend to break the enemy!

Zhang Liao can conclude that if he can let his own army board the ship to fight, it is not a joke, it is simply to crush the Cao-Sun-Liu coalition army.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

This is the real reality!

Zhang Liao seemed to foresee the day when his name was included in the first-class roster of soldiers after this battle, and it was even praised by future generations.

That's a real man!
